For the Security Intrigued

It is the perfect plug-and-play video camera to keep an eye on your home and pets while you’re away. Or use it to make sure your kids are not on the naughty list. The Nest Cam (one of our top picks for best WiFi security camera) features a wide range, 130-degree view, it connects in minutes and can live stream to your smartphone, tablet or computer.

For the Bookworm or Entertainment Addict

Amazon’s latest tablets offer a little something for everyone. Perfect for cozying up next to the fire to read your favorite eBook or to play video games, the newest HD Amazon Fire version (rumored to rival the iPad Air!) will help you relax and self-entertain over the winter break. You can also download apps, check the news, watch movies, and more.

For the Music Lover

Stream HiFi music or watch the latest blockbuster movie in surround sound and control it easily from your computer, smartphone or tablet. You can get one speaker or add-on to build an entire custom sound system in your home. No wires or drilling required!

For the Energy Conserver or Smart Home Obsessed

Smart Home Automation can help you control lighting, temperatures and more in different rooms of the house while you’re home or away. Saves you energy and money, so it is not only cool but it also can pay for itself! You have the option of buying individual components or an entire smart home system.

For the “Always Connected” Person

This smartwatch not only connects to your phone to keep you connected but it also tracks your fitness and more. It’s available in different styles and colors so you can find one to match your favorite style.

For the Snap Happy

We chose this as the best DSLR camera because it takes great pictures and has great video options as well. It’s a great entry-level camera with an 11 point autofocus and ease-of-use but it will make you look like a professional.

For the Rocker On the Go

Whether you’re having a get together or cleaning the house, this speaker is great at taking your music up a notch. It has a 12 hour battery life so it should be able to get you through the majority of the day with a skip in your step.
